This fifth Seoul Lantern Festival opened on 1 November to 11 November with a main theme of 'Millennial dream of Hanseong Baekje'. During this festival, visitors could make hanji lanterns, watch musical performances and enjoy other entertainments and events along Cheonggye Plaza and other Seoul sites. A modern lantern in the form of a falcon symbolized the lionhearted Baekje, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea, and an opening musical performance and parade was based on the life of Geunchogo of Baekje who oversaw the apex of that kingdom.
